preview of Wakaba's FS! the music already annoys me https://twitter.com/figureskatingm1/status/1038443192763310082
she went for the delicate theme for her FS this season! very different from skyfall. I won't judge it yet cause it's from earlier this summer so obviously not complete + we don't see it all. I just hope her performance will help me forget i hate Edith Piaf
Yay!!!! Love the dress! And love her choice of music. She’s always moving forward, trying something different. I love that!
The dress is very pretty.
And her 3Lz3T is sooooo solid!!!!
A shame for the fall. But this was just a summer competition so, no big deal.
Can’t wait to watch her incredible skate this season. She’s one my favorite skaters.
Not being successful in the junior field does not necessarily mean the jpn junior girls won't succeed in senior field anyway (and vice versa). Plus the competition is really scary! I'm seeing great qualities in some of the girls (TOMOE ) coaches just need to work on making them full packages and the JGP can just help them get experience and get used to the atmosphere of the international competitive field.
After russian test skates I've got the sensation that this year there's room for a Japanese lady winning the world championships
Just notice that Shiika Yoshioka is assigned to Ostrava with Nana Araki, and JSF filled Shiika previous assignment in Ljubljana with Yuna Aoki, and that's left Tomoe Kawabata with no 2nd assignment yet. If Yuna performs poorly i think Tomoe will have her 2nd assignment back or JSF may send her to Yerevan as well.

It's literally September. Skaters of every nation are making mistakes early in the season and no senior has had a really magnificent outing yet because it's early September. I'm not sure that now is the time to predict the downfall of Russian skaters or say that certain skaters won't be podium contenders. Maybe they will, maybe the won't. Let's wait and see.
Tomoe doesn't have a second assignment already? i could swear i saw someone mention her getting a second assignment somewhere :shocked:
She had a second assignement but JSF gave her 2nd spot to someone else.
